The half-size Brown-Stained Apple Box from Kupo is one of the most essential and useful pieces of equipment on a film set. Apple boxes are used for anything that needs to be propped up or supported temporarily. They can be used to prop up furniture and light stands, for leveling camera dolly tracks, or provide temporary seats, workbenches, or stepladders.
Often, the need also arises to make an actor appear taller, either because of their height or to fit with the composition of a particular shot. These boxes are specialized pieces of equipment belonging to the grip department and should not be confused with simple crates, other boxes, or boxes for apples.
